  From the hooves of chariot horses pounding the dust of the racetrack to the cries of elephants charging the battlefields, animals were a key part of Roman life. On memorials left to beloved dogs or in images of arena animals hammered onto coins, their stories and roles in Roman history are there for us to find.
  Why did the emperor Augustus always have a seal skin nearby?
  
  What was the most dangerous part of a chariot race?
  
  How could a wolf help with toothache?
  Take a gallop into the Roman world of chariot horses, battle elephants and rampaging rhinos. In the ancient world a bear could be weaponised and venomous snakes could change the course of a battle at sea. If you want to know exactly how to boil a crane (and who doesn't?) or how to use eels to commit murder, the Romans have the answer. They wove animals into poetry, sacrificed them and slaughtered thousands in their arenas, while animal skins reinforced shields and ivory decorated the hilts of their swords.
  From much-loved dogs to talking ravens, Battle Elephants and Flaming Foxes discovers who the Romans really were through the fascinating relationships they had with the creatures they lived and died alongside.

  The time for effective change is shrinking. 
  In this book, writer, researcher and advocate Gerry Gillespie outlines how we can create a global solution, and it starts between our ears. In order to restore our world ecosystems and our vital soils, he wants to change how we think about our trash. Readers will learn why we all need to change our mind about waste management systems, how to reconnect our organic waste to local soil and food growers, and why this leads to more local jobs. 
  With chapters about source separation, soil management and climate change, and practical approaches to zero waste, Gillespie presents a practical, logical argument for one way to save the world and grow a local economy. In economic and environmental terms, clearly explains how, if waste were collected as source-separated products, more than half of it could be returned to soils as quality compost and biological products. A very large percentage of the remainder can be put back through recycling, re-manufacturing and reusing. And it’s not just theoretical. Gillespie details how this reduction of waste is already being achieved in parts of the world and how we could do it globally … if we could only think differently. 
  Advocates, nonprofit directors, waste managers, landfill directors, environmentalists, entrepreneurs, eco-farmers and anyone searching for environmental solutions and opportunities with source separation should not only read this book … we must figure out how to change our thinking, and put Gillespie’s plan into action.

  Abstract Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) are biodegradable polymers that offer a sustainable alternative to conventional plastics while adding value to waste products such as sewage sludge. The main challenge in their production is the high cost. This review, conducted in accordance with the PRISMA methodology, focuses on the use of mixed microbial cultures and renewable raw materials, primarily volatile fatty acids from sludge, to make PHA production viable. It summarises research on substrates, the aerobic dynamic feeding strategy for biomass enrichment, operational conditions and reported yields. The work outlines the process from substrate acquisition to polymer production, highlighting the need for optimised conditions to scale up this promising bio-based technology.
